I stood up and took a breath
And threw open the bay doors
Below the clouds I saw the coast
And beautiful Hawaii
Leaning back the pilot smiled
And shouted have a good trip
I signed off and closed my eyes
Then I was falling through the sky

Leaning back the pilot smiled
And shouted have a good trip
I signed off and closed my eyes
Then I was falling through the sky

I think this song is amazing. My dad used to do sky diving instruction(in Hawaii), so this song is sort of special to me. Besides that, though, it's just a lovely little tune. It always cheers me up on bad days.

General Commenthexisea, screw him. he doesnt know what hes saying. dont worry about him. and you werent wrong. dude, that story of yours makes sense. i like that your dad was what he was(or is). But yeah . . .

My InterpretationThis song is telling how someone must feel when skydiving. Jumping off the plane would be were he says "then I was falling through the sky" opening the parachute is the final music instrumental (no vocals).

General CommentI bet he felt that there didn't have to be that much vocals to express this feeling. Just a beautiful instrumental. And that takes talent to figure out. Adam may not be the best singer, but his music is just perfect.

General CommentI'm amazed at how well the lyrics and background music capture the sense of falling through the air (or what I imagine it as; I have no plans to go jump out of a plane anytime soon). Adam Young is a genius.

General Commenthows abouts yous all fuck off. actually i have no idea who this band is i just wanted to say something to someone. i don't know if it's mainstreem or not. i love underground music so i don't give a shit about mainstreem bullcrap. and how come it's only rated -4? come on rate it lower guys.
